Riding Old Band-Aid (AKA the Monorail) All Things Monorail

[chillcoupons]

My girls and I love the smell, but it does drive my husband a bit crazy !!

If I were you I would make a recording of the Old Band-Aid guy who says "welcome to Walt Disney World Resort etc......" and I would play it in the car for full effect! (or maybe fool effect)

I love Old Band-Aid!!!!!

I am shocked that you would use this forum to expose my deepest darkest secret that I have been protecting for years. The fact that you were able to decipher my cryptic messages and come to the conclusion that I love Old Band-Aid is shocking!!!! Are you sure you have come to the correct conclusion? Maybe I love Old Shmand-Aid? Is the doubt starting to seep in?


I just want everyone to know that you can't believe everything you read on these boards!

Does anyone have an Old Band-Aid story? A picture? Please share.

I love Old Shmand-Aid?

I love Old Band-Aid!!!!!

Something went wrong with my monorail picture. I'll try again on another computer.

Boarding the monorail is when I realize I'm really at Magic Kingdom! When I was a kid, I could ride the monorail around and around...
Now that I go with my husband and son, I'm much more grown up (NOT!). When the announcer gets to the "collect your belongings and watch your head and step" we all chorus, "Oww! My head!!" It's become a family tradition.

Awesome tradition! I also used to ride Old Band-Aid for fun when I was younger and still look for any excuse to ride.

Oww! I love Old Band-Aid!!!!

When I go in Sept, my friend and I are arriving around 4pm. Our plan of action is to check into our hotel, then drive over to the Poly for dinner and ride the monorail "loop" then transfer over at the TTC to see Epcot! we figure it's the best way to grab a peek at the "magic" before starting the next day!

I hope you get to co-pilot! You get a great veiw from the front just a little more than a peek. Plus you get a really cool co-pilots license. (I have a stack of them (get out of the way little kid the fronts mine!)) Before I hear from any irate parents I am just kidding I only ride up front when there are no kids at the station)

I love Old Band-Aid!!!!

The Monorail beams, which are made of concrete with a special polystyrene core to lighten their weight, came by train from Washington state.

Monorail cast members formerly referred to beams by their physical location rather than by the type of service offered by trains on the beam. This however was changed in order to facilitate one set of nomenclature for the system. The resort beam is the innermost beam of the two beams encircling the Seven Seas Lagoon. The trains operating the resort beam offer local service to the Magic Kingdom resorts. It was formerly known as the lagoon beam. The Express beam is the outermost beam circling the Seven Seas Lagoon and provides express service between the Transportation and Ticket Center and the Magic Kingdom. It was formerly known as the exterior beam. Finally, The Epcot beam connects the Transportation and Ticket Center with the Epcot theme park.

I love Old Band-Aid!!!!!

I still like BLUE - so you should count this a 2nd vote for BLUE ... so Blue and Purple should be tied, right? Right. That is until you vote for purple again...

Riding the monorail is when my brain says to itself, "You have officially arrived at Walt Disney World." I fell for it back in the early 80's when I wasn't even in elementary school yet. Even though we lived in Orlando, my parents couldn't afford to take me and my sister to the parks very often. As a substitute, they'd take us to the airport and let us ride the monorail there. We'd look for gators below us and then watch planes coming and going. (Yeah, I had the best parents ever!) Ahhh, glorious memories! And the first time I got to copilot to MK was an evening in early December 2004. It was absolutely magical! I can hardly wait to ride the monorail again in a few weeks! Yay!

For people who visit the parks Old Band-Aid is almost as much of a Disney Icon as Mickey Mouse. Riding it just feels so special!!!!

I love Old Band-Aid!!!!

Here are my DD and DNiece just after riding in the front and proudly displaying their co-pilot cards last August. As I write this I am watching all the Disney jewelry on QVC and crying because I'm not there now. I'm a mess!!

Of course, we love the monorail!
